Dead to Me Season 2 Theories
If Netflix Gives Dead to Me a Second Season, the Plot Could Go 1 of These 3 Ways
3
When Judy arrives at Jen's house and learns what has happened, she begs Jen to let her take the fall. It's kind of like when Judy turns herself in for vandalizing that car, even through it's Jen who took a golf club to the windshield. On some level, Judy feels tortured, and has wanted to get caught for killing Ted since the show began. She's been trying to make it up to Jen that she is raising her two sons without their dad, and it's all Judy's fault. So now, she is going to insist that she killed Steve.
It makes sense that she might want to. He rejected her when she thought she might be pregnant again. He seemed to be dating someone new! He's determined to put the accident in the past, and cover up their guilt. This is the perfect way for Judy to finally get what she believes she deserves. And since Jen still harbors major resentment toward Judy for lying about who she was, she rationalizes the whole thing, and finds peace with how everything plays out.
